42. Jane Smiley’s A Thousand Acres « Tales From The Reading Room I had read jane smiley before, but the novel on that occasion was Moo and, at that time, my son was still very young and demanding. http://litlove.wordpress.com/2006/08/23/jane-smileys-a-thousand-acres/

@import url( http://s.wordpress.com/wp-content/themes/pub/rubric/style.css?m=1193427830 ); Tales from the Reading Room August 23, 2006 Filed under: Books Literature Thoughts I must say that this American reading challenge has completely transformed my summer holiday reading. No sooner do I lay down one extraordinary novel than another comes along. I had read Jane Smiley before, but the novel on that occasion was Moo and, at that time, my son was still very young and demanding. It passed in a whirlwind of episodic scenes and characters that left little impression on my sleep-deprived mind. The experience of A Thousand Acres suggests I should go back and reread, but then again what gripped me in this narrative was its terrible, claustrophobic trajectory into disaster. The tightness of its plotline, the concentration of its ideas, and the beauty of Smiley’s prose forged together into an arrow’s flight into meltdown. It’s often said that the twentieth century is the place where tragedy is replaced by trauma, but this novel seemed to me to narrate their convergence, the moment when one creates the other. Now I don’t know much about the story of King Lear to which this narrative cleverly appeals. Many years ago I saw an atrocious student production of it, in which only a tenth of the dialogue was spoken by a cast overcome by an excessive fit of improvisation. At some point in rehearsals, one of the actors had clearly said ‘It’s not fair that only King Lear gets to be mad!’, and the director had agreed. I only knew who King Lear was because I recognized the student playing him. But I do know that Cordelia’s love for her father is contrasted with Regan and Goneril’s hypocritical, grasping domination.

Posted by The Shamus March 24, 2007 The Last Tycoon The Loved One The Day of the Locust Two Weeks In Another Town Play It As It Lays The World In The Evening Ten Days In The Hills The Decameron The Hollywood stuff is pretty incidental. Max is a calm, mensch-like writer-director who won an Oscar years ago for penning a screenplay of a film directed by Michael Apted. Max then became a director, with some success, but he is now in his late 50s and is coasting, seemingly content to putter around his spacious hillside abode with its beautiful gardens and view of the Getty Museum. The book begins with Max and his lover Elena, in bed, the morning after attending the Oscars. They are talking about the glamorous evening, and Michael Moore getting booed, and the war, and how Max wants to make a small movie of him and Elena that would do for the indie sex film what My Dinner With Andre did for the indie yapping-and-gnoshing film. Stoney is trying to talk Max into remaking the old Yul Brynner Cossacks-and-horses epic, Taras Bulba, bankrolled by some mysterious Russians who want it filmed on location in the Ukraine. Max wants to make his little sex flick. Stoney, still trying to measure up after living in the shadow of his legendary agent father, worries that Max no longer has the fire for the heavy lifting of a Hollywood career:

Write to the Magazine On the second night, we attended a lecture given by a man named Os Guinness. He was tall, with a British way about him, respectable looking. He talked for an hour in a reasonable way, much like a college professor. The message of his lecture was simplehe convinced me that I was going to die and that it could happen at any moment. In the last five minutes of the lecture, when he was sure he had us staring aghast into the abyss, he offered conversion to a Calvinist sort of Christianity, based not on works but on grace.

Zeeba Books (Montreal, Canada) MAJORITY READER By Joshua Glenn IN LATE 2001, Jane Smiley came down with an acute case of writer's block. Whether this was due to her retirement from teaching, therapy that made her too well-adjusted, or her preoccupation with horses and the events of 9/11, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of "A Thousand Acres" and 13 other books could think of only one cure: She would read 100 novels. In her new book, "Thirteen Ways of Looking at the Novel" (Knopf), Smiley delivers acute verdicts on her arbitrarily chosen reading list, from the 1001-year-old " The Tale of Genji " ("simple but inspired") to Zadie Smith 's "White Teeth" ("logorrhea given form and purpose") while offering insights into the origins, structure, morality, and art of the novel. She spoke with me via telephone from her home in northern California.
